MEET NICOLE ZAMBRANO
"I love America more than any other country in the world and, exactly for this reason, I insist on the right to criticize her perpetually."
- James Baldwin
I chose this quote by the great James Baldwin because this is the sentiment I carry with me as I pursue my career in Curatorial Activism. My goals are to not only critique socio-political spaces but to actively engage in solution based incentives.
I hope you take the time to look around! Feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.
